Rhodesian Farmers Defensive Arrangements

The following is a general overview:

1) Most farmers fitted hand-grenade grills to the outside of all windows and Doors leading outside were likewise security grilled.

2) Many farmers built thick sand bag walls in front and under bedroom windows to stop bullets passing through walls and providing secured firing arc’s. Beds were never placed against the outside walls of a farmhouse.   Continue reading “Home hardening in a real SHTF scenario”

Eastern Libya has declared an autonomous regional government with an official ceremony, challenging the country’s weak central government that failed to assume unifying power over rebels and various tribes since the 2011 war toppled Muammar Gaddafi.

Leaders of an autonomy movement met on Sunday in the small town of Ajdabiya to launch the government under the name of Barqa, or Cyrenaica as it is also known, supporters said.   Continue reading “East Libya Declares Self-Government”

Gun rights groups are throwing their weight behind efforts on Capitol Hill to rein in the National Security Agency (NSA).

The National Rifle Association (NRA) is among a number of groups that have signed on to an American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) lawsuit against the secretive government agency.    Continue reading “Gun rights groups go after NSA”

For gun rights advocates, distrust toward the federal agency charged with enforcing firearms laws dates from a single raid on a gun collector’s apartment.

It was a 1971 raid by agents of what was then the Division of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms on the apartment of Kenyon Ballew in Silver Spring, Md. The agents had been tipped by a burglary suspect that guns and grenades were stashed there.   Continue reading “How the NRA became ATF’s biggest enemy”

Town Hall -by Michael Schaus

I assume people with billions of dollars wake up in the morning – every morning – thinking to themselves, “should I use my money for good. . . Or for evil?” Mayor Bloomberg, in his Blofeld style lair, apparently decided to utilize his monetary powers in an effort to impact the lives of citizens thousands of miles away. (From a libertarian point of view, this would fall in the category of “evil.”)

It is one type of annoying authoritarian-idiocy to ban guns, high-capacity sodas, and trans fats; but his efforts to export his New York socialist utopia on unsuspecting citizens (of other states) adds a whole new level of “Billionaire Elitism” to the mix.   Continue reading “The Bond Villain, Mayor Bloomberg, Strikes Again”

Update #3 November 2, 2013

Prosecutor Corey did not drop Marissa’s case last week, so a new trial is scheduled to begin in March, 2014. However on November 8, the court will decide if Marissa, who’s been away from her children for nearly three years, will be able to live with them outside of prison in the meantime. Please keep the pressure on prosecutor Corey to drop the case and at least allow Marrissa to be with her children until she is finally acquitted.   Continue reading “PARDON Abused Mother Marissa Alexander for Standing Her Ground”

The 23-year-old charged as the gunman in the deadly shooting at Los Angeles International Airport told authorities at the scene that he acted alone and had been dropped off by a friend, a law enforcement official who has been briefed on the investigation told The Associated Press on Sunday.

Authorities do not believe the friend knew that Paul Ciancia, the man charged in the attack, planned to open fire inside LAX’s Terminal 3 just moments later, killing one Transportation Security Administration officer and wounding three other people, including two more TSA workers, said the official, who is not authorized to speak publicly about the investigation and requested anonymity.   Continue reading “Gunman Told Police He Acted Alone in LAX Shooting”

The federal food stamp program known as the “Supplemental Nutrition and Assistance Program” (SNAP) has now been cut by a small amount — just $36 / month for a family of four. But even this tiny reduction in a national entitlement program is causing shockwaves across the nation as food banks scramble to handle the anticipated surge in “hungry masses.”

“Food banks across the country, stretched thin in the aftermath of the recession, are bracing for more people coming through their doors in the wake of cuts to the federal food stamp program,” writes USA Today.   Continue reading “Food banks brace for wave of hungry masses as federal food stamp cuts kick in”

The Common Sense Show – by Dave Hodges

Since Obama took office in January of 2009, America has been under the most serious and constant barrage of attacks in her entire history. Not only was Obama not qualified to be president based upon his experience, he was not eligible to run.

The following summarizes many of the documented issues I have raised about President Obama and his leadership of this country. We Americans are under extreme attack from this president and there is no end in sight. Obama is clearly the right communist, at the right time needed to push America over the cliff in a blitzkrieg  series of attacks designed to destroy this country.   Continue reading “Obama’s Blitzkrieg Attack Upon America”
